When do you age out of a web design career?

An young-in-career engineer wants to explore a new activity related to web science; should she focus on learning web design, computer & web security or some other field?

  • This engineer is not currently assigned to a purely technical activity, but rather to project planning.  She is exploring web design, but has been advised this is a field over-run with others, while the security activity may have a better chance of quick assignment.  Since she has a 'technical inclination', perhaps there might be an even better recommendation?

  • Answer:

    I think you can't go wrong with Web Security - or any cyber security for that matter.  It's hot - upcoming - and despite tremendous growth will always be - imho - a real tangible problem due to the innovator nature of hackers.  If you want to get a taste for web security we're offering a free training course on the fundamentals - come check it out and let me know what you think.  http://www.varonis.com/learn/web-security-fundamentals/

I think this depends on whether you really mean "Web Science" or rather more generally "Web technologies". Web Science, as I understand the term, looks at understanding how systems grow/die on the Web, how the nature of the Web affects the systems and people that develop on it (and vice versa) and draws in people from outside computing/technology to gain better understanding of law, psychology, education, policy etc on the Web combining this with some of the engineering/technical skills of web-like systems such as security. Web design is a very peripheral skill within Web Science except in terms of understanding how it affects learning or engagement. Data science, coding, semantic web and another non-technical discipline would be the best ways into web science..
